Chapter 70: The Brothers Who Let Go of Themselves
The origin of this villa is extraordinary, it was built before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is said that it was the residence of a certain big man at that time, and it changed hands several times and flowed into the hands of the senior brother.
And this style and history of the house, there is a name called the old bungalow, this kind of house is now the price is sky-high, the owner is either rich or expensive.
Although the house is many years old, it is well preserved, well designed, tastefully tasted, and the interior is very beautiful after being decorated.
"Little junior brother, what to drink, coffee or tea"
"Let's drink tea, I'm not used to coffee"
"What tea to drink, black tea or green tea, Tieguanyin, Longjing, Poole, or what"
"Is there a camellia in Dulong Mountain?"
I replied, the senior brother and the second senior brother looked at each other, the senior brother shook his head, but the second senior brother got up and took it out, just a white plastic bag of bulk tea, which was only sold for thirty yuan a pound in Qinghe Town under Dulong Mountain, which was very cheap.
"It's delicious, it tastes good"
The senior brother made me a drink, and I took a big sip, and immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, not bad.
"It's a good fart, it tastes bitter, I don't like it when I boil tea eggs"
"Senior brother, you are going to be criticized for what you say, the little junior brother is obviously nostalgic for the past, you, you forgot your roots after half a year down the mountain, the master is here, you will be miserable"
The second senior brother smiled, the camellia of Dulong Mountain is indeed not a good tea, and the craftsmanship of making tea is not good, turbidity, too many impurities, bitter and astringent, and it is also a strong taste, after brewing, the tea color is still there after four or five bubbles of water, if it is really a good tea, it would have been famous a long time ago.
It's just that this tea is a common memory of the three of them, and there were a lot of precious tea leaves when the master was still there, but the master just took this sip, so the three of them basically drank this tea.
Xuandu said this, in fact, he saw the dissatisfaction of the little junior brother, the behavior of the two of them after going down the mountain was very different from that on the mountain, and there was a little meaning of forgetting their roots.
"Little junior brother, the master is gone, we have all gone down the mountain, we all have our own lives, in fact, we don't have to keep remembering the past, aren't we okay now?"
"Yes, the third child, you are the youngest of the three of us, but you are the heaviest in Master's old state, not good, not good"
How smart the senior brother is, how could he not know what the second brother meant, but he still has to say that this time is different from the past, they are a new life.
"Since the senior brother has said it, I, as a junior brother, will not hide it, there are some words, we should make it clear, the master gave me the position of the heavenly master, that is the meaning of the master, you were also deliberately hiding at that time, but it was not the junior brother I sought to seize the position of the heavenly master"
After thinking about it, I said, after going down the mountain for more than half a year, the three of us brothers and sisters have made a living by themselves, and the opportunities are different, but there are some things that have to be made clear, when Mrs. Gu came to the door, they avoided it by themselves.
"Third child, don't get me wrong, the two of us are not interested in the position of the Heavenly Master, to put it mildly, with our current net worth, we really don't look down on this son"
"Little junior brother, the Heavenly Master is yours, no one can snatch it away, whoever robs me will be in a hurry"
The senior brother and the second senior brother immediately said, how much is the position of Heavenly Master worth, they are not rare at all now, okay.
"It seems that my villain's heart is the belly of a gentleman, replacing wine with tea, and punishing myself with a cup"
"Haha, okay, okay, you go on, let's talk, there's something else you want to ask"
"Senior brother, the three of us practiced hard day and night on Dulong Mountain, and we couldn't move in the morning and evening, but after going down the mountain, the two senior brothers were a lot stronger, and their homework was all down."
I nodded and said, it's nice to say that it is strong, but in fact, it is a lot of fat, needless to say, it must be that I haven't practiced much anymore.
"Second brother, come on, little junior brother is going to talk to us."
"Okay, third child, tell me, what is the reason for your cultivation?"
"This..."
"I can't say it, we can't say it, we worship under the master's door, practice martial arts, the mountain doctors have their own strategies, and we have learned a skill, but why are we nesting in Dulong Mountain, counting on immortality, we haven't thought about it.
After going down the mountain, we are laity, what are the laymen pursuing, you should know, money, power, sex, materialism are rampant, we admit that we are indeed not as penance as in the mountains, but so what, we have found our purpose in life"
Xuandu said, practice and cultivate a great freedom, but they do not feel comfortable on the mountain, after going down the mountain, feel the rolling red dust, they have a feeling of being like a fish in water, this is what they need.
"Congratulations to the two brothers"
I raised my glass and said that I was glad to have found my purpose in life.
"The same, people are different, what you pursue, you can chase, we as senior brothers, will support you"
The senior brother said that the little junior brother has no moral kidnapping, this ideological realm is already very deep, and it also reduces everyone's embarrassment.
The pursuit of life is different, senior brother, they have their own way, I have my own way, there is nothing to say, and I will not be entangled, so I avoided this topic and talked about what happened after the three of them went down the mountain.
I have been in Yangcheng for most of the time since I went down the mountain, and there is nothing interesting about it, but the senior brother and the second senior brother are different, and they have been down the mountain for half a year and started their colorful lives.
After the senior brother went down the mountain, he roamed the rivers and lakes, and in just over a month, he made a huge name, including winning a certain master of a big faction in a casual debate, solving a major remaining problem in feng shui, and also foiling an evil conspiracy to kill the evil master.
It is precisely because of these various deeds that the senior brother has become famous in the rivers and lakes, met all kinds of nobles, and suddenly became rich, and this kind of sudden wealth is not the kind of windfall, and the senior brother can take it with peace of mind.
After the second senior brother went down the mountain, the story was not as exciting as the senior brother, and his reputation was not as loud as the senior brother, but the second senior brother made a lot of money.
The second senior brother's way of making money is to invest, invest in nobles, the second senior brother is very proficient in reading the words and divination, so the second senior brother's way of investment is to look at people, by looking at people's faces to see if the person has financial luck, and then invest in their things.
In just three months, the second brother became a gold medal employee of the investment bank, made a lot of money, and then went out to start a business by himself through leverage operation and became famous in their industry.
The second senior brother has not yet received a return on many of his investments, because the time is still short, but in time, the second senior brother may be richer than the senior brother.
"I've talked about us, what about you, junior brother, how have you been doing for more than half a year?"
"How can I compare to you, after coming down the mountain, I took back three Heavenly Master Orders, usually I set up a stall at night, practice during the day, and the rest is nothing"
I shook my head, comparing myself to them, I really didn't have much to tell.
"Don't worry, your natural nature is better than ours, you just have too short a cultivation time, as long as you ensure that your current state can continue, you will explode sooner or later"
"Master told us back then, Senior Brother and I have been practicing on the mountain for 20 years before we can get anything, which is enough to become a teacher, you only need 15 years, and if you practice for a few more years, your level will definitely surpass us."
The second senior brother said that after the two of them went down the mountain, they were busy with mundane affairs, in fact, they didn't practice much, and their cultivation slowly stagnated, but the little junior brother still maintained the mentality on the mountain, which was precious.
"Don't talk about this, now I still regard money as dung, let's talk about Master, how did you find out about Master's affairs?"
I shook my head, how much money I made didn't mean much to me now, I wanted to know more about Master.
"Master is dead, what else can happen?"
"Big brother..."
"I'm not lying to you, how can Master say that he is also an eighty-year-old man, do you still think that Master can live forever?
So Master's death may have a secret, but it doesn't matter, isn't it, generation after generation, our generation has the mission of this generation, and we won't get involved in the affairs of the older generation."
"Senior brother is right, third brother, don't worry too much about these things, if the master is not dead, there is a reason for him to disappear, if he does not appear, do you think you can find him with your ability?"
I admit that what the senior brother and the second senior brother said makes sense, but I don't quite agree, it's that everyone has their own pursuits, and the senior brothers pursue a wanton and chic life, but I'm not, I'm just pursuing a truth.
"Have you brothers finished talking, let's come over for dinner after talking?"
Just as we fell silent, my sister-in-law Qingqing came over and asked us to go to dinner, and we stopped the topic.
In order to welcome me and the second senior brother, the eldest sister-in-law Qingqing personally cooked and made a table of dishes, and the senior brother was quite complacent and told us that the eldest sister-in-law has a professional chef certificate and has a first-class cooking level.
Of course, the second senior brother and I can't taste any level, anyway, I just think it's delicious, after eating, the second senior brother goes back to make up for sleep, the senior brother is to deal with his own affairs, and I go back to the room to meditate.
In the evening, the second brother woke up, and we decided to go out to eat at night, and after eating, the second brother took me to the mall, saying that he wanted to buy me clothes and dress decently.
I don't care, my clothes are bought from the stalls in the night market, since the second senior brother wants to break the bank, then let him be, and I won't refuse.
"Second Senior Brother, are you usually so proud?"
An hour later, I carried several bags, thinking about the second senior brother's appearance of swiping the card without blinking his eyes, and felt that I was just a dirt bun.
"People rely on gold, clothes are a man's façade, what's wrong with wearing it well"
"No, it's just that you look handsome by swiping the card"
"That's because you didn't see the big brother driving a Ferrari with one hand, it's more handsome"
The second senior brother Xuandu said with a laugh, and at the same time he also muttered in his heart, it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality, and when the time comes, see if you can stay poor all the time.
